Stuck in disc mode and the restore won't work because of error 1437

I've been stuck in disc mode for over two hours after trying to reset my iPod. I originally had to restore it because it says that there are corrupt files. It went ok until the very end when it said that it couldn't be restored because of error 1437. So, I tried to reset it. Now, it's been in disc mode and nothing is working! I tried to format it from my computer, I tried to restore it multiple times, I tried resetting it again, I uninstalled and installed itunes, I even went as far as downloading the most recent itunes It's just stuck in the same mode and won't let me do anyhting! Also, the nearest Apple store is a 2 hour drive away and I don't have the money for Apple support.Oh, and the ipod is completely empty and it says I have 0 KB available. (Out of a 160 GB iPod Classic)

Hi JLeeAnne1993,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you are receiving an alert after attempting a restore. You have done several great troubleshooting steps already I see. The other steps I would recommend would be isolating the usb port, reregistering “.dll” files, updating or reinstalling the Windows USB drivers, and possible disabling your security software temporarily. I know the specific alert number you are receiving is not listed, but please use the following article for the steps and information on how to complete these actions.

Thanks anyway for your help.
But allow me to extend to you a simple reflexion about the jailbreak (even if my iPhone wasn't... except if my little cousin jailbreaked without me noticing the advantages or disadvantages) : Would you refuse an alcoholic trying to go to rehab ? Would you really let someone trying to restore a cellular phone die without it, because he went on the bad side a couple of years ?
Not a great analogy, but this is a user-to-user forum, and Apple will not allow discussion of jailbreaking; if someone tried to help with jailbreaking the message would be deleted. However, if you have a jailbroken phone Apple will generally not block a discussion of how to unjailbreak it. The only problem is that not all jailbroken phones can be restored successfully; it depends on the method of jailbreaking (which I can't discuss without THIS message being deleted).

My ipod touch has an "activation required" error and the slider won`t work

I have an itouch that is only 2.5yrs old and only gets occassional use. A week ago the slider wouldn't work; power switch didn't work; I reset and then tried (unsuccessfully) to restore to factory settings through itunes but encountered an error. At that point it appeared to be restored and I had use of original feature (clock, settings, etc) but I could not connect to WiFi and when I tried to connect to itunes again it did not recognize my device and now my Windows does not recognize my device. It tried to reset again but now I get an "activation required" error and the slider won`t work again.
I have read of other with the same problem but found no solution
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Dropped phone in coffee, turns on but sticks on the i tunes icon. Restore won't complete because of error 29. Any ideas?

dropped phone in coffee, turns on but sticks on the i tunes icon. Restore won't complete because of error 29. Any ideas?

After being submerged in coffee, did you power the iPhone off right away and if so, how long did it remain off to be completely dry - for the interior, not exterior?
Did the coffee include cream and sugar? Electronics and moisture don't mix especially with moisture that includes sugar.
Regardless, sounds like there is some hardware damage especially if not powered off and allowed to dry with the interior before being powered back on.

I upgraded my iphone4 wirelessly to iOS 5.1 and now I'm stuck in recovery mode and when I try and restore my phone it gives me error code (1) At this point,
I want a working phone. Any ideas?

download a program called RecBoot, very easy to use, connect your iphone and click on "exit recovery mode" and it will restart normally. I had the same problem as you, but I solved it with this program.

Ipod touch(1st gen) stuck in recovery mode and cannot restore??

I just bought a used ipod touch 1st gen. It was fully functional before I wiped it. I wanted to remove all of the other person's music and personal info before I started using it. I also wanted to update ios. I wiped it and when it restarted it was in recovery mode. I have tried to restore it and I keep getting an error message that it could not restore unknown error has occurred (1). I have tried troubleshooting and going through all of the steps that Apple suggests and nothing has worked. Any suggestions? I just want it restored and updated to the latest ios that will work with it (3.1.1 I believe) I don't know what to do at this point.

What next any ideas, thanks?

Hi there...
Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
2-Restart your Windows.
If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2- look for gs.apple.com
3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
4- Save the file and try restoring again.
Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
I hope this helps. It did for me
